CHAPTER EIGHT

THIS WAS EXACTLY why she’d resisted for so long. This hellish constantly racing pulse, the cold sweats and sleeplessness. She was more than aching now, she was shaking—worse than an addict doing cold turkey detox. She’d been wrecked for every one of the forty-eight hours since he’d walked away from her without so much as a backwards glance. He made her feel too much. All she could think about was how good he’d made her feel.

She’d forgotten how great sex could be. Correction, she’d never known how great it could be and that pretty much broke her heart all over again. The experiences she’d had in the past? The relationships? They paled in comparison and she felt more than fickle. She felt guilty, like she’d betrayed the one person she shouldn’t.

So for almost every one of those forty-eight hours she’d worked—forcing smiles and laughter, doing fancy coffee creations and flamboyant cocktail tricks for the honeymooners. She’d avoided looking at the silent guy who’d sat at the end of the bar each night until the end of her shift. And who’d then left without saying a word.

He hadn’t needed to. The burning look he’d sent her said it all.

During the day he’d walked over to the coffee bar as if he hadn’t a care in the world. They’d exchanged no words. They weren’t necessary. She knew his order. He had nothing else to say. She couldn’t bring herself to make her customer service small talk. Hell, she’d hardly been able to control her shaking hands enough to make his espresso.

But now, two days since that night, as the sun rose high in the sky, she couldn’t handle the tension anymore. She couldn’t cope with him being near, but not having him. She’d get him out of her system for good this time. The second she’d finished her morning shift, she stalked across the sand to his private hut.

He was out the front, sprawled in a lounger in an annoyingly relaxed fashion, reading another book.

Burning with brazen need she marched up, letting her shadow fall over him. “I think we should fuck it some more,” she said baldly.

He didn’t glance up from the book. “Do you?”

His response was teeth-grindingly mild.

“Yes.” Hell yes. She put her hands on her hips and stepped nearer, determined to make him see her.

“Why?” He still didn’t look up from the wretched book.

“Because you were right and I was wrong.” But her heart thundered because he wasn’t moving. Was he going to turn her down?

Of course. He wasn’t about to leap to his feet and do her bidding—hadn’t she learned that already? Nobody told Hunter Shaw what to do. She’d been arrogant to assume he’d just roll over and say yes now…

Or was this like the other night when he’d teased her? Heaven knew she deserved it if he was drawing it out to torment her. She’d messed him around terribly. But at the same time, she’d needed time to get to grips with how intense this was.
